All of my quests have the little orange ball in front of them, and when I mouse over it it says "quest not in database". Not just one or two, but all of them. I know I have the latest version because I installed it just a few minutes ago. I've been using carbonite for years and have never had this problem.

Presumably I've done something wrong, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. Any and all help sincerely appreciated.

Similar issue here but not all of the quests are doing this but there are many from Pandaria that are. Mostly the ones that send you to talk to a certain person. One that I have right now is "Seek out the Lorewalker" in Jade Forest.

Just to let you know or maybe I need to turn something else on..

I also want to say thank you for taking this project on and look forward to great things in the future.

Yeah same here for me. Might be because everything up in the air now with updates and the release of the source code. Rythal said he may release a update on Monday lets hope the MOP quests are fixed with that update! If not goodthings come to those who wait....longer.....

They won't be, the update is just bringing every fix / update i've done previously in the last month into the GPL code. And one option that was very confusingly written broken into 4 options so it makes more sense (hide blizzards quest tracker, watch achievement tracks, watch scenarios, watch challenge mode timers).

So in the meantime, what, if anything, can I do to fix this problem? I love the addon, but right now it's useless to me if it has no quest data.

I'm not sure why it's doing that to you, I haven't seen or heard of it happening to anyone else so I don't know where to begin... The only time it should say quest not in database is if you click on one of the balls and it's not one it knows how to track (pandaria mostly), any quest from 1-85 should work fine, and 90% of the ones in pandaria should work fine if your using 5.05.01.

Have you tried removing the carbonite folder completly and re-installing it?

For about two days now most (about 70%) of my quest watcher has red (mouseover - not in database) icons in front of them. I have quests from all areas of Pandaria right now and when I switch areas (jade forest to four winds or any area to any area) the Qwest watcher that normally reorganizes my quests by zone and closeness to me do nothing. I am in Jade forest now and the top quests in my quest watcher is showing four winds quests. I have 5 Jade Forest quests but Quest Watcher will not reorganize them or even show them as it's always done.

Make backups before you do this; Delete both carbonite related lua and lua.bak files from within the WTF SavedVariables folder. Then go into each character folder into their SavedVariables folders and remove both carbonite lua and lua.bak files.

You could also do it the easy way and open the WTF folder, then up top in the search field just type in Carbonite. Delete any lua and lua.bak files you find with the Carbonite name on it.

Delete all three carbonite folders from within your addons directory. Redownload and install the addon again. Be sure to verify the MD5 checksum number.

Doing this ensures that you downloaded a clean zip file and are running a fresh clean install of the addon.

I am having the same issue in Panderia with quests not showing in database. I have totally deleted the WTF folder and all Carbonite folders from my add ons folder and completely reinstalled the current version of Carbonite hoping this would fix the issue, unfortunately with no success. Any idea when this will be fixed? The primary reason I use Carbonite is for the quest/map functions and with the quests in Panderia not showing I am floundering.

So instead of floundering, open up the default map and look where the quest objective is.
Temp track the objective and look on the default map you can find it fine IF it is a trackable objective.

I've had to do it, it works fine. Eventually he'll get everything updated. Until then, don't flounder, overcome.

I have 18 quests in my log, carbonite does not have 12 of them in the database, i have deleted and reinstalled and gone to the zones (not sure what zone to go to for 'to be a master' though) and to no avail. i love the addon but having 2/3 of my quests not showing really isnt working for me.

The MoP quests aren't in the database yet. You're just going to have to be patient. However, if you read the quest info on Wowhead for "To Be a Master" you will see that it says "The entirety of this quest happens in Valley of the Four Winds."

The six trainers you need to visit to learn the recipes you need for this question are almost certainly close by the quest giver (going from memory; I haven't been there since beta).

i update every day.

please help someone, hate the ingame quest tracker

Some things that work for me:
*Go to the zone they are in
*Open the blizzard quest log
*Complete a quest

Most of the time, by about hte middle of a game session most, if not all, of the quests are working.

all of the quests you get on halfhill for the different cooking guys have no data hope those will be fixed soon so you know where to find the ingredients without constantly having to look them up on wowhead or thottbot
